Just run the DOS Fractint executable under DOSBox on Windows or Mac or Linux. No need for a Win64 version of Fractint. I run it under DOSBox under Linux. On May 7, 2023 1:02:38 PM HST, ck park <travelgirl.fics@gmail.com> wrote:
hey, tim! is there a compiled build of whatever win10x64 is latest for dosbox? i've looked at svn, and what i've seen so far assumes you have an active build environment, something i got rid of when i retired ... don't wanna build no mo... :)
thanks, son :)

The list is alive although since Fractint is very old, list traffic is usually very low. Thanks to xmission for donating free mailing lists to fractint all these years!
I am puzzled by your question. Why would you go from fractint version 20 to version 16, that must be really very old! Fractint, despite being a very old DOS program, runs very well under DOSBox on many platforms (probably Windows, Mac, and Linux although I haven't tried all of those.). For example, I am running Windows 10 on my main PC, and Fractint 20.04.14 runs like a champ under a version of DOSBox called DOSBox Svn.

Hi all,
Just wondering if this mailing list is still alive, I noticed the forums are not active, I hope people still use Fractint.
A more practical question: I have v20 of Fractint and just installed v16. I’ve tried to run some of the formulas that come with v20 on v16: the main formulas (FractInt.frm) of v20 run fine on v16 however all the rest of the formulas under /frm do not run (I get error messages) - I thought there was compatibility, am I doing something wrong?
